In all honesty, Mei had expected her name the last ten numbers. She knew since the very first announcement that she had ranked, but she didn't know when, however, now, when her name finally had been called, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She instantly rose up when the spotlight hit her, and swiftly headed up to the stage, accepting the trophy with a short "Thank you", before turing to the mic. "As most of you already know," she started, already slipping back into her princess character, "I am not one for sappy things. You will likely never see me give a tearful thank you, no matter if I rank 1st or 24th. That's just who I am." She paused. "Nevertheless, it is in it's rightful place, to say that I am grateful. This event may be the selection for the next single, but in all honesty, what it really is, is numbers representing people who are supporting every single one of the members. That is my view of the whole idea, which, I suppose is why I do not feel pressure regarding this event. I am not competing with everyone else. So what if the number representing the people supporting me happens to be higher than some and lower than some? The only one who is really fit to compare to me, is myself. Some people claim that I am arrogant. It might be true, but in reality, a person who doesn't see her own value, will never make any headway. Make of that statement what you want." She paused again. "Thank you again, for giving me such a high number of votes to fight to break next year."
